I think most Teams users would only pay not to use it
Microsoft teams users should get paid to use it*
That's the only reason I use it?
I mean Microsoft should pay users to use it. Because it's so god-damned aweful
No one is using teams voluntarily my man
I mean Microsoft should be paying people to use it because it's so god-damned awful.
I imagine most do
What's better than Teams?
Not being on Microslop's ecosystem.
More seriously, it depends on what exact part you want. Matrix + Jitsi work for chats and calls, though they are a little shaky (but so is Teams sometimes, I don't much see the downsides). Calendar apps are ~~a dime~~ free a dozen.
What other tools often lack is the direct between multiple services. You'd have to manually link a NextCloud directory in the Matrix chat, bevause it doesn't have a near seamless sharepoint integration.
The upside is independence: You can migrate between hosts, or host your own instances of NextCloud and Matrix, entirely within your (virtual) private network. And those are just services I can name off the top of my head, odds are there are plenty of other good solutions.
Slack isn't great, but at least a few years ago it was much, much better than Teams
I wasn't a fan of Slack. Plus it was only communication.
I'm also not a fan of Slack, but it doesn't break new things every week while also putting ads in your face, so that's a plus.
Teams is also only communication.
